UNHCR Regional Update: Mixed Movements in West and Central Africa, October – December 2022

People in mixed flows move together for different reasons, using the same routes and facing similar protection risks.

In this context, UNHCR strives to reinforce access to protection along the routes for refugees, asylum-seekers and stateless people, as well as enhance pathways to solutions as a meaningful alternative to risky onward movements.

This update provides a brief overview of key trends in the region as well as response by UNHCR and partners.
